Ok, the machine I had that was completely dismantled by a virus I finally got to reload windows and formatted(not quick ntfs), but the full format.

Here is the issue. Some nitwit partitioned the drive and now I have two operating systems on the same drive.

DRIVE I: has 4 gigs of space, just enough to hold that OS of XP. Its the boot.

DRIVE C: has 250gigs and the exact same OS.

I should note that drive I and drive C are the same harddrive, I is just a partition. Not sure why the hell someone would do that. The format didnt get rid of the partition.

How do I get rid of this I: partition and make the machine go to boot the C: drive that has all the space on it.

Some of my new programs like CS3 need the boot drive to function properly.

Google hasn't been my friend and I think its because I dont know what to google to fix it. Can i just delete that I: drive that shows and the C: will become the default boot drive because the OS is on that one too?
